The following sets of quantum numbers represent four electrons in an atom:
$(i)$ $n = 4, l = 1$ $(ii)$ $n = 4, l = 0$
$(iii)$ $n = 3, l = 2$ $(iv)$ $n = 3, l = 1$
The sequence representing the increasing order of energy is:

  • A
    $(iii) < (i) < (iv) < (ii)$
  • B
    $(iv) < (ii) < (iii) < (i)$
  • C
    $(i) < (iii) < (ii) < (iv)$
  • D
    $(ii) < (iv) < (i) < (iii)$
